Treia !P0dSPtgivA 2013/08/12 (Mon) 22:41 No. 31951 The two are seated outside. Opposite each other, of course. Just the two girls together at a table. A female server, and plenty of passing eyes to wander onto them. None linger, for there's nothing remarkable about two girls eating together, idly chatting about all manners of things.
it's perfectly innocent, far too innocent.
"I'd like a wiener for my friend. Ah, a hot dog I mean."
The server understands instantly, putting her hands to her face in embarrassment. Noriko chimes in, oblivious.
"Oh, I've never had a hot dog before!"
Marisa only glances over, smiling the whole time.
"Yes, I'm sure you've never been given a hot dog."
Noriko, ignorant of the whole duplicity, agrees, seeking eagerly to try this new thing. The sever hurriedly returns, slapping down a single plate with bun and dog before quickly walking off, muttering about ?shame?.
"Go on, Noriko. Try it."
"O-Okay! Here I go!"
"No, no. Not like that. You put one hand at the base, and the other hand at the tip and bring it up to your mouth. Yes, yes. Now taste it. Close your eyes. Yes, like that. Use your tongue!?
Marisa was not the only person watching this spectacle, but she was the closest. And leaning closer. Chin in her hands, verbally coaching the whole affair as she leans in more and more over the table.
Noriko finishes putting the meat in her throat, licking her lips and her fingers.
"it's salty? Hey, what are you staring at?"
"I'm undressing you with my eyes."
Marisa candidly explains, furthering her sexual harassment against the poor girl who is distraught by the very idea. Noriko remembers their first encounter, but mostly the clothes exploding. She grasps at her dress, embarrassed.
"Please don't disrobe me with your magic again! That's far too mean!"
Marisa merely licks her lips, still staring at the helpless girl.
"Oh no, I can't actually undress you with my eyes. I need my hands for that. Coincidentally, non-mages would also use their hands to remove your white, plain panties."
Noriko's jaw drops open almost as quickly as her face fills with red. She stammers part of a demand for explanation before switching to trying to cover her face, remembering her clothing predicament, and failing to solve neither. She simply flails for a few moments as she tries to decide between hiding her shameful face or holding her clothes together. She accomplishes neither, and instead opts to slump down in her chair, making herself look as small as possible.
"Cute."
Marisa declares, choosing that moment to resume eating even as Noriko cowers in her chair. Marisa carefully continues eating, pretending to not even pay attention to the pitiable girl. Cleverly just enough to coax her back into continuing the eat-out.
Noriko pokes her head up barely. Lured back in. Just a normal bit of dining from there on, she's convinced. She walks right into Marisa's trap.
A piece of silverware clatters against the ground.
"Oops. I dropped my spoon."
If Noriko were a more observant girl, she may have noticed Marisa diligently watching her, instead of looking for the dropped utensil. If Noriko were a more sensible girl, she may have avoided the trap, instead of earnestly dashing into it.
Fortunately, Noriko is neither.
"I'll get it!"
Three. Two. One.
Marisa leans back in her chair, gently whistling as she grips the back of it and opens her legs all the way.
There's a shriek, then a loud bump as head meets table. Poor Noriko pulls herself out from under the table with one arm, desperately waving at Marisa.
"Marisa! Everybody can see your- your-!"
"Oh, I know."
It is a small wonder neither of them walked out then. Nor the hour past that, nor the hour past that. Neither had escaped, only moving closer and closer in their dance. They may be likened to two blazing stars, each circling the other, growing closer with each pass. The flames of their passions may only brush as they pass, but each comes around again, crossing closer and closer until finally, they meet.
Both reveled into the closing hours of daylight. Even after all those that had been before them had already left. Even as the shutters were drawn and stores closed and sun dipped into the evening horizon.
The more she learned, the more troubled Marisa became. She did not believe in perfection, nor grace. Morality was a lie, humility a misdirection. Beauty, a covering for ugliness, and none of these things acceptable to herself. She was seeking only innocence, believing it an impossibly lofty goal.
But, she was willing to try.
She just needed a push in the right direction, is all.
So she put her trust in Noriko. Let her lead on, legitimately this time. They walked, and talked, and their hands found each other. Noriko, leading the way through the village as Marisa hung on her every step, every word.
The push she needed was only to look at herself and what she was like.
Noriko wailed as her a rock hit her knee and she fell.
"Haha! Two girls holding hands! Haha! Two girls!"
More rocks came, and began to pelt the two. Marisa jumped forward and stood between the source of the rocks and Noriko, arms outstretched.
?That's enough!?
It was two of the schoolboys that stepped forward, rocks in hand. Marisa wasn't even considering her actions as she reached into the folds of her dress, drawing her mini-Hakkero. Only a tug at the back of her clothes stopped her.
She swiveled to see Noriko wiping a tear from her eye, supporting herself against a building because of the scrape on her leg.
"it's okay, Marisa. They don't know any better."
She turned back to the two delinquents. She knew them both. They were among those schoolboys she had instructed earlier, and many times before that. What were they doing but imitating the ruffian they looked up to?
"Yes they do?"
Marisa muttered and shook her head. She took Noriko's arm and wrapped it around her shoulder, supporting the girl.
"I'm sorry. I've taught them badly."
With that, she swept Noriko's legs out from under her, much to her audible surprise as she is picked up in a bridal carry. Instantly, Marisa turns to the boys.
?Hear this! This girl is with me! Anybody who throws a rock at her, anybody who makes fun of her? they're doing the same thing to me! I will not tolerate one ounce of disrespect against her!"
Having her point made, Marisa touches off the ground and floats into the air, pointing away from the village. The two fly towards a house they had visited earlier in the day.
